Note: Allied intelligence successes in breaking Japanese coded communications, as well as other communications intelligence activities are an essential part of the story of the Battle of Midway. Due to national security needs to protect sensitive intelligence sources and methods, documentary support of the story of World War II Allied communications intelligence only became available to researchers in 1978 as declassification of relevant documents began. Authors writing prior to this time had access to detailed operational records, but not to the full intelligence picture.
